At the beginning of the year, the United States aided the Xia Empire with so much money, hoping that the Xia Empire would have a war with the British Empire, so that the United States could reap the benefits, especially the United States, which is now in an economic crisis, not only to divert the attention of people at home, but also to expand trade with the Xia Empire; However, the Xia Empire not only did not launch a war against Britain, but also restricted trade with the United States, which made the United States very annoyed.

This time, on the occasion of Zhang Weiwei's wedding, the United States still sent the Philippine governor to send gifts and lodged a serious protest to Hua Guoqiang, hoping that the Xia Empire would fulfill its promise and launch a war against Britain as soon as possible.

After New Year's Day, after Hua Guoqiang reported the news to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei couldn't make up his mind for the time being, originally planned to occupy Australia in the second half of this year, so that the system was upgraded to the imperial level, but because Britain and France and other countries wanted to comprehensively suppress and split the Qing Dynasty, the Xia Empire had no choice but to negotiate with the Great Qing State, leased the Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang Special Regions, and blocked the encroachment of all forces on the Great Qing State.

In response to the demands of the Americans, Zhang Wei had no choice but to summon several important ministers of the General Staff to the small conference room of the palace to discuss countermeasures.

After the personnel arrived, Hua Guoqiang introduced the requirements of the Americans, hoping to start a war against the British as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that Zhang Wei is unwilling to start a war against Britain at this time, the system has been upgraded to the imperial level, the desire for land is not as strong as at the beginning of the year, and the southern and western Xinjiang special regions of the empire have not been completely occupied, the local garrison has not yet been trained, and the empire is still in the construction period.

After a moment of silence, Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, if we don't start a large-scale war for the time being, we can recover the part of Kalimantan that has not been recovered, and for us, we can connect the South China Sea with the territory of the empire, and we can also have an explanation for the United States." ”

Li Zhaoshui said: "In such a small place, it is not even a conflict, and the Americans will definitely not agree to it, so I suggest that the Indochina Peninsula be taken by the way." ”

Lu Weimin said: "No, the Southern Xinjiang Special Economic Zone has just been taken over, and it is not ready, there is no infrastructure, and the transportation is not good, so it is not suitable to launch an offensive on the Indochina Peninsula for the time being; Moreover, Britain regarded the Strait of Malacca as extremely important, and launching a war on the Indochina Peninsula would probably not be a local war, but a large-scale war, which was not in line with the current interests of the empire. “

Zhang Wei said: "I just kept the northern part of Kalimantan Island as an excuse to recover the Indochina Peninsula, and I can't occupy it for the time being. If it doesn't work, let's still occupy eastern Australia and New Zealand, which is our established policy; However, now that the Empire is still busy with the relocation of immigrants and the newly married families of the troops, it is really inopportune to go to war now. ”

Li Zhaoshui continued: "It's out of time, it's about to be the Spring Festival, Australia is such a big territory, and the British have also strengthened the military strength of the Australian Army, and now the war will definitely not end before the Spring Festival, I still hope that the people of the empire can have a stable and peaceful Spring Festival, even if the war is launched, it will also be after the Spring Festival." “

Lu Weimin said: "No matter how much they strengthen the strength of the army, they will be in vain, can they be the opponent of the Imperial Praetorian Guard?" I feel that the war will not drag on for a long time, as long as we occupy several major cities in eastern Australia, Australia will surrender, the British will not have time to rescue at all, and we don't need to send too many troops, but the strength of the Australian Military Region is enough. “

Li Zhaoshui said: "In order to quickly occupy the eastern part of Australia, it is necessary to use the navy and a large number of transport ships, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the eastern part of Australia; now the British are so strict in monitoring the affairs of the imperial government, as long as the troops are mobilized, they will not be able to hide it from the eyes of the British, as long as there is a stir, the British will definitely take precautions in advance, and the Australian army will also be prepared, and the war will be increased a lot." “

Zhang Wei thought for a while and there was no good way for the time being, so he said to everyone: "Then we will launch a war against Australia next spring, and we can delay it for one day if we can delay it against the United States. “

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!" “

When Zhang Wei returned to the backyard and saw Xiao Yu'er, he talked to Xiao Yu'er about the meeting just now, Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you attach too much importance to the attitude of the Americans, we might as well take the opportunity to fight the United States, now they are in a weak period, and it is a good opportunity for us to launch a war against the United States." “

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "My dear, I also want to fight the United States, but now there are British and French colonies around, I am really worried that these people will drag us back when the time comes, and it is taboo to fight on two fronts." “

"Your Majesty, it's not a two-front battle, it's a three-sided battle, and to attack the United States, you must fight with the U.S. forces in the Philippines, the U.S. forces in Hawaii, and the North American continent."

Zhang Wei looked at Xiao Yu'er and said: "My dear, you are wrong again, according to what you said, it is a war on many sides, and Britain and France must be taken into account, in case they take advantage of the war between the empire and the United States, they must set aside enough troops to guard against them." ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, when there is a war with the United States, Britain and France will not dare to move, you must know that there are many troops stationed in the Southern Xinjiang Special Region now, just to guard against these troops, it is very difficult for Britain and France, so do you still have the courage to go to war with the empire? Isn't this a clear excuse for the empire to occupy Indochina? Moreover, after occupying Indochina, it directly threatened the British Indian colonies, and I believe that the British and French would not do such a stupid thing. ”

Zhang Wei laughed, "I still haven't thought it through, thank you for reminding me, you are really my virtuous helper, come, kiss one!" ”

Xiao Yu'er blushed and said, "I hate it, Your Majesty, we're talking about business." “

"It's all old husbands and wives and they're still so shy, let's do this too."

Xiao Yu'er slapped Zhang Wei's hand away and said: "Your Majesty, now that the General Staff is formulating a plan to lead Australia, we can quietly make a plan to attack the United States, and then decide according to the situation, anyway, I feel that we can't start a war with Britain for the time being, and we still have to keep Britain and France to deal with the Germans, even if we have a Far East campaign with Russia, we can't conflict with Britain and France and weaken the strength of Britain and France." “

Zhang Wei listened to Xiao Yu'er's words, and felt very reasonable, very similar to the original idea, but with the development of the empire and the changes in the external environment, the empire's actions deviated from the original plan.

After thinking about the existing problems, Zhang Wei was in a much better mood and relaxed a lot, so he hugged Xiao Yuer and said, "Everything else is a trivial matter, and it is important to complete our man-making project first." “

"Ah, Your Majesty, it's still daytime!" (To be continued.) )
